Re: [Talk-ca] GNS tag cleanup
Hi Paul, gns:jog refers to the sheet number of the Joint Operations Graphics map series. gns:mgrs refers to the Military Grid Reference System, which is nothing more than an alternate representation of the coordinate system IMO both these values can be safely removed. I don't know about the other ones. Perhaps you can find more information here: http://earth-info.nga.mil/gns/html/ Regards, Frank Quoting Paul Norman penor...@mac.com: About 6 years ago, a set of data was imported from GNS, consisting of place names, mainly of place=town. As an example, see http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/52556192/history Thy have a few tags, many of which can probably be safely automatically eliminated by editor software. Using the example node, I think the following should be added to the automatic removal list in editors gns:dms_lat=490200 gns:dms_long=-1224900 gns:lat=49.03 gns:long=-122.816667 gns:n:xx:full_name=White Rock gns:n:xx:full_name_nd=White Rock gns:n:xx:modify_date=1993-12-14 gns:n:xx:sort_name=WHITEROCK gns:cc1=CA I'm not sure on the following.

Re: [Talk-ca] GNS tag cleanup
Hey all, Figured I look, for the codes mentioned on the GNS site and save others the trouble. ADM 1 Codes First-order administrative division. An administrative area directly subordinate to the pertinent governing authority. CC1 Country code. CA being Canada. DSG Feature designation code. Comprised of two to six character code to identify what type of feature this is. In this case, PPL means Populated Place. FC Feature Classification. Designed to allow similar features in GNS to be grouped together and searched for. JOG Joint Operations Graphic Reference. This is a specification determined by the US Department if Defense to ensure that graphical representations of the feature (maps) treat the item in the same manner. MGRS An alpha-numeric system of expressing UTM/UPS coordinates. UFI Unique Feature Identifier UNI Unique Name Identifier RC Region Font Code. FOr determining the equivalent characters used in GNS sorts rendered in Roman Script. 1 means Americas and Western Europe. n:xx:NT=N NT is the Name Type and N means Approved. The rest mentioned are self-explanatory. Very few of these codes appear to hold any meaning for the OSM database as it sorts the data based on it's own tagging references. As such, they should probably all or almost all be removed from OSM. Oops. Meant to send this to everyone.

This page gives the variables description. To reconcile with GNS, I suggest that only UFI and UNI unique identifiers have to be kept.

[Talk-ca] CanVec updates without a version bump
I was having a look at New Westminster in tile 092G02.1.1, and I noticed that there are differences between CanVec 10.0 which I downloaded when it came out and what I just downloaded from the CanVec webpage, which is also labeled CanVec 10.0 Addresses have been added, and with them, errors introduced. Although I'm not opposed to adding addresses, adding a new feature like this obviously needs discussion and review, and I checked imports@ and it doesn't look like this happened. Who's our contact at NRCan these days? We need to make sure that the scope of what's getting imported is clear and that additions get properly discussed. ___ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
